Follows the biblical account of Israel's war with the Philistines and the stories of Jonathan and Saul to demonstrate how God creates moments of opportunity and how to live a life of purpose and adventure.
Synopsis: In this inspiring book, Erwin McManus uses the biblical account of Israel's war with the Philistines ("1 Samuel 13 and 14") and the characters of Saul and Jonathan to demonstrate the difference between living a life of purpose and adventure, and living one of apathy and missed opportunity. In the midst of a less-than-hopeful battle, Saul - who should have been leading - rested beneath a pomegranate tree as Jonathan seized the divine moment that would impact the future of Israel. Through this story McManus artfully illustrates the eight characteristics of an adventurer's heart, what he calls "the Jonathan factor." Using powerful examples from his own life and ministry, along with fresh biblical teaching, McManus asserts that God crafts divine moments specific to each of us - priceless opportunities for us to actively engage in God's big-picture plan. Apathy and apprehension prevent us from being all we are meant to be for God's kingdom. But by developing these characteristics, Christians can move from mundane to miraculous living.
